Please say you're joking, units that are stasis'd cannot be attacked, units blocked by forcefields stack for collo to kill them faster. Stasis is also less available.

Lockdown ONLY worked on mechanical units, was on an expensive unit that did little other good, and took a huge amount of tech to obtain.

You got it backwards. Minigun expands, IdrA all ins and doesn't do enough damage with it and is behind.

you missed the part where minigun 4gated and tried to be aggressive with it, forcing idra to make those units which were basically useless against forcefields


You have never seen a player put on a bit of pressure? That's just good game play. He moved forward and instantly pulled back as he expanded



If it was just pressure, that would have been true. But it wasn't--it was an MC 4-gate, and if IdrA had built any fewer units he would have died after the nexus cancel+warp-in+FF on ramp. What bugs us Z isn't that IdrA's later attack failed, it's that Minigun was able to play an all-in, see that his opponent reacted appropriately, and immediately about-face and switch into economic play without being behind.


That means it is not an all in...

I don't understand this argument at all. Does the fact that it can flat-out kill the Zerg if he doesn't react perfectly but doesn't put the Protoss behind at all if it fails make it more balanced?

Can't believe people are discussing pvz/ff imba as a response to seeing idra smash a pure roach/hydra army into sentry/stalker/colossi with superior upgrades repeatedly and mis-microing his roachling aggression so bad it only killed like a sentry and a stalker. T_T

expanding is almost an auto loss it seems in pvp. Almost spoils the results.

2-1. First 2 games were good games from both sides, the third game minigun just outplayed him with an innovative 4 gate expand build. Idra tried to all-in minigun, but with the extra warp-in power minigun came out ahead and got a gold up and then won the game.

And Lockdown only worked on more than 2 units if you had god-like micro.

The fact that it leaves option for turtlemacrosafemode as well as aggression means it's not an allin. Nice misinterpretation lol.

This just shows the difference between Idra and Nestea. Idra is still doing the same stuff and whining that he is the 'better player' and should therefore win regardless of strategy in a real time strategy game. If he has Robo you don't get Hydras, it's simple, it doesn't work at all you will lost in 95% of games with Hydras as your dps unit versus Collosus Protoss, it has to be Infestors or Banes unless are endlessly ahead in supply.

Meanwhile in Korea Nestea is busy reinventing the matchup being creative and destroying far better Protoss players than Minigun.


What the hell? Inca and Anypro are not better than Minigun.


You cannot be serious. Inca and Anypro are on a different planet to Minigun.


Idk Inca's pvz is pretty bad or at least in all his pvz's I have seen of his so far he has gotten smashed. Anypro I can't remember his play but inca's pvz is worse then minigun's just from watching anyway.


Maybe just maybe Inca is worse at PvZ than Minigun but remember Inca is and has always been Code S. So when Inca plays versus he plays Nestea, July, Losira, Zenio, Kyrix. When Minigun plays Zergs he plays Idra, Machine, Sheth and Catz. So yes, surprisingly, Minigun has a better record versus Zerg. In PvP and PvT Inca is far better than Minigun will ever be.

Anypro has made a Ro4 and two Ro8s in GSL beating FruitDealer, Kyrix, Jinro, Morrow, July and Trickster on LAN at the biggest tournament going. He is way ahead of Minigun in all match ups with his PvZ being particularly good.

Loved how Kiwi went and pushed Axlav when he saw the prism. Kiwi must have been thinking that Axslav might be too busy microing the prism and if he attacked right away it would catch Axslav when he wasn't paying attention. It payed off by getting 3 stalkers. Excellent multi-task to deflect the drop too.

With that snipe and Axslav being failing the prism drop, he was sufficiently behind in units for Kiwi to take him out.
